A deeply devoted Sikh, the Siri Singh Sahib’s inspiration and example motivated thousands to embrace the Sikh way of life. Through his personal efforts, Sikh Dharma was legally incorporated and officially recognized as a religion in the USA in 1971. He was given the responsibility to create a Sikh Ministry in the West by the Akal Takhat, the Sikh seat of religious authority in Amritsar, India. He was honored with the title Bhai Sahib by the Akal Takhat in 1974.

An outstanding pioneer in many fields with a deep and compassionate insight into the human condition, the Siri Singh Sahib established permanent institutions, mentored businesses, created spectacular events, and produced a prolific body of teachings. Known as Yogi Bhajan, he started teaching Kundalini Yoga when he came to the West in 1968, he was the first to publicly do so.

He is survived by his wife, Dr. Bibiji Inderjit Kaur, children, five grandchildren and all those in his 3HO and Sikh Dharma families.
